Hi, I am having trouble link as the title states to reach a bookmark I placed in Word from Excel. I have succesfully reached the Word document, but after trying various stratedgies I found online, I still cannot reach the bookmark.

Step 1:Go to cell, click hyperlink from the insert ribbon
Step 2:In the popup, click the Word document, which I find under "Existing File or Webpage", then under "current folder"
Step 3:Click the bookmark button and recieve "Certain file formats, such as XML, do not support bookmarks so you cannot create a hyperlink to a bookmark in a file that does not support bookmarks. You can either hyperlink to the file without any bookmarks, or change the file format so you can insert bookmarks into and hyperlink to the bookmark."

I tried placing #bookmarkname, I found that a possible solution online, at the end of the address, but it still only goes to the top of the word document not the location I need.

Thank you
